#2 hits different when, after a quarter of a century, NOTHING makes her happy.

Man, the pearl clutching going on about the munchkins (I didn’t even clock that). These can be rescues. You’ll notice it’s an indoor-only cat. My takeaway is that people need to remember that cats need companionship. They aren’t solo creatures. But yeah, people on this site love a good soapbox. “I’ve been morally superior today. I can rest easy in having done my duty.”

I hope you have a nice Sunday, @OP! It's always so good to wake up to one of your posts and see not all in the world is sh*t!

Now that would be trippy.

Well OK, #6 is already trippy on its own, but like, trippier.

#17 525 to "mid 200s" means that even if you assume a high "mid", he's still lost an entire himself in weight. That's fucken impressive!

I will not thank anyone for munchkin cats. Ever. They are a bad mutation that should not be bred for.

3 weeks ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 11

They did not promote them, nearly the kindness of treatment towards them, those are not the same, but it is telling about what kind of person you are in the rest of your life.

Focusing on one thing that is negative and discounting all the other joyful things is definitely the way. /S

#3 Why is the hedgehog trying to finance a Mitsubishi?

3 weeks ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

There used to be an ad for a car insurance company whose mascot was a hedgehog; maybe that's him.

Yeah, they went and put a hedgehog as the mascot for car-related stuff. :'(

#4 why Munchkins though?

3 weeks ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 6

Yeah. I love this dump so much but downvoted because of munchkins. So unnecessarily cruel to popularize them as cute.

I have a friend who rescues animals with breeding deformities. She gets them neutered then fosters until she can find them a good home. They already exist might as well still treat them with love and respect.

#4 downvoted for munchkin content

3 weeks ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

If he was specifically gotten from a breeder then i agree. However, if he was rescued and not gotten from a breeder then i disagree.

3 weeks ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

i agree with you, however spreading funny-cutey videos is making more people wanting them.

Looks like a peaceful Japanese village in the valley between mist covered hills with hydrangeas in the foreground.

Just a foggy day in a remote (I assume japanese, based on the roofing and kei truck) mountain village.

3 weeks ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

This is the village of Ainokura in the prefecture of Toyama, Japan. It is an UNESCO world heritage site and known for its gassho-zukuri houses with steep straw roofs.
It is an image of calm and quiet in this context, I think

#7 Serious question, are fire alarms not a legal requirement in America? And I don't mean just strongly recommended, but actually required by law. Here in Australia all homes are legally required to have smoke alarms installed, & this rule has been in place for decades, so you'd struggle to find any home that doesn't have them. There's a bit more to the laws than that, but the general gist of it is if there's a fire in your home you're gonna know about it without having to be woken up by a pet.

3 weeks ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It’s been a requirement in newly built homes for at least a couple of decades in the states I live in. And insurance companies incentivize them with discounts, especially 24/7 monitored systems.

3 weeks ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not a requirement at all. It used to be that you could call the local fire department and they would set one up for you if you couldn't afford it. But that hasn't been a thing in a while. At least not in my neck of the woods.

As always, states are not a monolith and fire prone states absolutely have them built into the code.

3 weeks ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Thanks for the info. That sounds absolutely crazy. I can't fathom just how many people must have died because of such lax building standards. Hope that situation improves for you one day soon.

The problem is that even in homes that have them, people don't bother to upkeep them. The idea of testing them and changing out their batteries (if they aren't hard wired into the home) is just too much work form some folks, I guess. I'd rather mildly inconvenienced by checking the stupid thing once every 3 months than suffer the consequences of not doing it.

3 weeks ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For what it's worth, you can now get cheap, good quality smoke alarms that are either wired into mains power, with a battery backup for power outages, or for unwired ones they have a lithium-ion battery that lasts 10 years. They should also beep at you if the battery is low. So they don't require much upkeep, certainly not as much as what you're describing. Perhaps something to look into next time you need to buy a smoke alarm?

3 weeks ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You mean yours doesn’t beep every five seconds at 3 in the morning to let you know the batteries are getting low? And make no mistake, it’s ALWAYS O Dark 30 when they demand that new battery.

3 weeks ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

There's actually a reason for this. The voltage in batteries can change slightly based on the ambient temperature, so if a battery is just borderline, then when the temperature drops overnight, then that will be enough to just push it over the threshold and trigger the low battery warning. Regretfully, this is usually 3am, because that's the coldest part of the night. At least batteries usually last a few years or so, so you shouldn't have to deal with this too often.

3 weeks ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

On a completely unrelated matter, the thing you refer to as "O Dark 30" is what is often referred to round here as "Fuck Off O'Clock". As far as I can tell they have the exact same meaning: middle of the night, when an acceptable response to any sleep interruptions is "fuck off". Since you taught me a new phrase I thought you might appreciate learning a new one too. Thank you for expanding my vocabulary. :)

I appreciate and will definitely use Fuck Off O’Clock. Very on brand for me.
